I said this when the vulnerability/bug/whatever you want to call it was posted here: I use the same method for fraud detection, and it works unreasonably well. That said, I'd rather there be permissions surrounding WebRTC, but my clients are happy.

How do you use it for fraud detection? What does it tell you/what are you looking for?

  Financial card fraud; Most of the time someone just hops on a SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy, doesn't have a VPN behind that. We can grab the user's IP. Original discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8949953 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8949953

    That's beautiful. One of my passions in life is seeing carders get caught.

      I was one in a former life. Now I use my insights to help. You'd be sickened and surprised by how many startups overlook handling chargebacks.
